  • The software development of stress-based topology optimization was addressed for the offshore turbine transition structure based on the self-developed LiToSim software platform. Firstly, the multi-scale model for the mixed beam and bulk elements was applied to the structural analysis of the wind turbine transition structure. Secondly, the extreme loads of the wind-wave coupling were taken into account. Thirdly, the stress-based topology optimization method was used for the design of the transition structure. Based on the self-developed LiToSim software platform, a customized software TUR/TOPT for the topology optimization of the transition structures of offshore wind turbines was formed. With TUR/TOPT, the traditional compliance optimization and stress-based optimization results of the transition structure were compared to show the advantages of stress-based optimization in reducing the structural stress during the material reduction design process and effectively avoiding stress concentration. The software TUR/TOPT provides important guiding value for the selection process of wind turbine construction.
